Chapter 245: Which Loess is Suitable for Burying People

~37 min read 7,343 words

Director Wang carried the rabbit in her hand and asked Zheng Shusen: "What about this rabbit? I don't know how to skin it."

Zheng Shusen put down the book in his hand, raised his eyelids and said: "Don't eat the rabbit, freeze it first. I'm going to Jinmen for a meeting on Tuesday, I'll bring it to Lanlan and the others."

Director Wang threw the rabbit on the ground in frustration, picked up the pheasant and said with dissatisfaction: "This was brought to me by my godson, you only think about your daughter."

Zheng Shusen looked at his wife amusedly and said: "Isn't that the meat that fell off your body? Why are you still saying your daughter, my daughter?"

Director Wang said with dissatisfaction: "She's not my daughter. She only comes back twice a year and doesn't even remember this mother. Why should I remember her? She doesn't even compare to my godson. My godson knows to come see me once a week."

Zheng Shusen smiled helplessly: "You say it, you find it annoying when your daughter comes back, one day is just right, more than one day and you'll quarrel. You miss her when she doesn't come back. Why don't you go to Jinmen with me on Tuesday?"

"I'm not going. Why should I rush to see her if she doesn't come?"

As she spoke, she picked up the two rabbits and two pheasants on the ground angrily, preparing to go to the kitchen to clean them.

Zheng Shusen shook his head helplessly and continued reading his book.

Li Xuewu let Yan Jiecheng drive the car directly back to his Bai Bai Xiyuan. After getting off, he and Yan Jiecheng carried the meat and the sack toward the inverted house.

Yu Li was washing clothes in the inverted house. Seeing Li Xuewu bring Yan Jiecheng back, she greeted them and helped open the door and move things.

Li Xuewu picked two fox skins from the bag in the East Room warehouse, one white and one red, put them in a bag, and put them back in the trunk.

Carrying the hunting rifle from the trunk, he took a rabbit from the East Room and threw it to Yan Jiecheng: "Take it home to eat."

After finishing, he didn't look at Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li's reaction, took the hunting rifle and two pheasants, and walked out. While walking, he said to Yu Li: "When you come back tonight, tell Old Biaozi to skin the two rabbits and send them to my mother's house. If you want to eat, let Brother Zhuzi pick and cook them."

"Okay, got it."

Yu Li watched Li Xuewu walk out of the room with two pheasants with a beaming smile, turned her head and glared at Yan Jiecheng, who was still smiling foolishly: "Why don't you have any sense? Didn't you see him carrying things? You don't even know how to help."

Yan Jiecheng finally reacted, handed the rabbit in his hand to Yu Li, and wanted to chase Li Xuewu, but was stopped by Yu Li.

"He's already home by now, what are you following him for?"

"This, this was all said by you."

Yu Li glared at Yan Jiecheng and asked: "What did you go do? How did you get so much meat?"

Li Xuewu carried the chicken into the house and saw Li Shun guiding Li Xuecai in medical skills in the main room, while eldest brother Xuewen and his wife were reading in the room, but the old lady and the others were nowhere to be seen.

"Dad, where are Mom and Grandma?"

Li Shun looked at the things in Li Xuewu's hand and said: "In the backyard, playing with Li Xue and Li Shu. Where did you go? Did you go up the mountain again?"

Seeing Li Shun frown, Li Xuewu smiled and threw the two pheasants to Li Xuecai, scaring Li Xuecai, and then replied to his father.

"Our division chief and I went to Red Star Commune to talk about building a training ground. Our division chief loves hunting, so I played around with him."

"Go wash your hands, it's all blood."

Before Li Xuewu could answer, eldest sister-in-law Zhao Yafang came out of the room.

Perhaps she heard that Li Xuewu went to Red Star Commune, so she came out to ask.

"Second brother, did you go to the commune?"

Li Xuewu washed his hands in the basin and said: "Yes, I ate at Aunt's house. After eating, I went to Uncle's house. Everything is fine. Uncle and Aunt said you don't need to worry about home. Yaping even said she'd come to play when she's on vacation."

Zhao Yafang was very concerned about home, which Li Xuewu understood, after all, she was the eldest sister.

"That little bean sprout, the road isn't easy to walk, she can't come even if she's on vacation."

Li Xuewu smiled and said: "We'll see. Yajun will have a vacation in a while, let him pick her up then."

Zhao Yafang smiled: "That would be great, Yaping is the one who sticks to me most at home."

Li Xuewu answered with a smile, saying he had things to do, and had already told Old Biaozi to send the skinned rabbits over tonight. After finishing, he carried the gun toward the backyard.

Arriving at the backyard, he saw Li Xue holding Li Shu playing on the sofa, while Grandma and Liu Yin were cutting Chinese medicine in the room.

"Why did you open the pharmacy here?"

Liu Yin looked up and saw Li Xuewu return, so she said with a smile: "Everyone in our family is a great scholar, they complain that the cutting knife and medicine grinder are noisy."

Li Xuewu went to the kitchen to fill the bathtub with water, came out, placed the hunting rifle on top of the cabinet in the inner room, and took a newly washed shirt, sweater, long johns, and cotton pants from the cabinet and threw them on the kang.

Carrying a bath towel made of large towels in his hand, he turned off the kitchen valve and entered the bathroom.

"Are you going to take a bath?" Liu Yin asked, holding the cutting knife in her hand.

Li Xuewu closed the bathroom door and replied: "Yes, I ran around the mountain today, covered in dirt."

"You're the clean one, knowing it's dirt and still running up the mountain."

Seeing Li Xuewu close the door, Liu Yin continued cutting the astragalus in her hand, scolding her son.

Li Xuewu took off his clothes and soaked in the bathtub, replying to his mother: "I went to Red Star Commune with the leader to talk about things, and accompanied him to hunt."

Liu Yin dared to say, cutting medicine while saying: "Why is your leader so unreliable? He has to talk about things on a good Sunday instead of resting at home."

Knowing his mother was distressed for him, but hearing her say this about Fu Bin, he still found it quite funny.

"He is quite unreliable, I'll deal with him later."

Liu Yin curled her lips and said: "You too, why are you taking a bath at this time? Wash after eating tonight."

"I have things to do in a while, I have to accompany the deputy division chief to see a leader."

Liu Yin put down the cutting knife and said with dissatisfaction toward the bathroom: "Is your Security Section just you as a soldier? Why does the division chief use you during the day, and the deputy division chief wants to use you at night? It seems your day off is all for their service."

Grandma waved her hand and said with a smile: "Young strong man, it's the time to be busy, don't restrict him."

Seeing Grandma speak, Liu Yin still complained: "Mom, look at my son, he's so busy that I have to rely on luck to see him."

Li Xuewu said in the bathroom with a smile: "I'll ask for three days off tomorrow and accompany you specifically at home."

"Forget it, you just have a good mouth, just fooling your mother."

Li Xuewu was unconvinced: "It's not just playing with my mouth. I brought the pheasant I shot on the mountain home. I'll clean two more rabbits for you when Biaozi comes back tonight, you taste something fresh."

Liu Yin scolded toward the bathroom: "Are you being filial to your mother? You're finding work for your mother to do. You brought so many things, isn't it me who has to clean and cook? Be filial to your father next time."

Li Xuewu just washed simply and didn't soak for a long time. He wiped his body with a bath towel and walked out wrapped in the bath towel, saying: "If you don't want to cook today, you can clean them and hang them on the side of the house. Didn't we hang the fish there last time?"

Mentioning this, Liu Yin got angry. Looking at Li Xuewu walking toward the room with his arms crossed, she said: "Still talking about freezing them, the fish were stolen. If we hang them on the side of the house, they'll be gone again."

Li Xuewu walked to the inner room and said while putting on clothes: "Who is so greedy? Why steal fish? Is it someone in the courtyard?"

"Where is it?" Liu Yin said and started cutting medicinal materials again, cutting while saying: "Real thieves came in. Our fish were considered small. Wang Laoqi's iron pot, the most serious was Third Uncle's bicycle being stolen."

"You say how rampant this thief is, stealing even bicycles, lawless."

Li Xuewu put on his clothes and walked out, saying: "Still a greedy thief, shallow-sighted, stealing everything. When I catch him, I'll definitely slap him with that frozen fish."

Teasing Li Shu, seeing his sister playing with the ethnic doll with Li Shu, he asked: "You like this too?"

Li Xue really liked it, but she also knew that playing with this at her age was a bit wrong, so she shook her head with a red face.

Li Xuewu took out his leather shoes from the shoe cabinet at the door, sat on the sofa, and said to Li Xue while wiping his shoes: "If you like it, you like it, what's there to be shy about? Why, can't big children play with dolls? Who stipulated that?"

As he spoke, seeing Li Xue's eyes were brighter than his leather shoes, he said with a smile: "Final exams are coming soon. Brother won't ask about your grades, as long as you tell Brother your grades are good when you get home, then Brother will take you to Wangfujing Department Store to go shopping."

"How old are you, still like your niece, is that doll that good?"

From last night until now, her daughter's eyes hadn't left that ethnic doll. How could Liu Yin not know her daughter's thoughts?

Li Xuewu didn't answer his mother's words, but continued: "Since you like dolls, we'll choose at the toy counter, go pick, Brother will buy you whatever you like."

"Hey, you haven't seen it, that toy counter is more than ten times as big as this room, and there are all kinds of dolls."

Li Xue blinked her big eyes in surprise and looked at her brother, asking shyly: "Really?"

Li Xuewu put on the polished leather shoes and stood up, raised his eyebrows and asked: "When have I ever lied to you?"

Seeing Li Xue's face was red, he said with a smile: "I didn't dare to say this when I was young, saying it would be called bragging, but now Brother saying this is still accurate, definitely satisfying your preference."

Li Xue now felt that her brother was the best brother in the world, completely forgetting about hiding from her brother when she was young.

Liu Yin saw that her daughter really liked it, so she didn't say much.

Li Xuewu walked to the door, found his overcoat and put it on. Before going out, he said to Li Xue: "When you get married, Brother will give you a whole set of ethnic dolls as a dowry."

"Brother~!"

"Hahahaha."

Li Xuewu teased Li Xue, carried the prepared gun box, and walked out of the door laughing.

Just arrived at the middle courtyard when he met Qin Huairu and Banggeng talking to First Uncle.

"Just talking about you, Huairu said she saw you come back, I was just about to find you." Seeing Li Xuewu come over, First Uncle turned to look at Li Xuewu and said.

Li Xuewu replied with a smile: "What's wrong, First Uncle, something up?"

First Uncle looked at the front courtyard and said: "You weren't at home so you don't know, Third Uncle's car was stolen this morning."

"Yo! What's the situation? If you didn't say it, I really wouldn't know."

Qin Huairu wanted to laugh when she saw Li Xuewu's appearance; this was completely a cat crying for a mouse with fake compassion.

"Third Uncle was fighting with Yan Jiecheng last night, pushed the car into the courtyard and forgot to lock it. He wanted to go fishing this morning, but the car was stolen."

Qin Huairu explained to Li Xuewu in a decent way.

First Uncle looked at these two as if they were performing a double act.

Li Xuewu condemned with a look of regret and anger: "This thief is too rampant, truly hateful!"

Emotion in place, expression clear, condemnation complete.

Li Xuewu then changed to an indifferent expression and said: "That, you guys go ahead, I have things to do, I'm leaving first."

Seeing Li Xuewu about to leave, First Uncle hurriedly stopped him and said: "Xuewu, Third Uncle and the people in the courtyard have already cleaned up the gatehouse, you see..."

"Oh oh oh, cleaned up, right, on duty, right, no problem. If I'm at home, I'll be on duty. If I'm not at home and it's my turn, let those people in the inverted house help me be on duty. You can pick whoever, absolutely no problem."

"No."

Seeing Li Xuewu talking about other things here, First Uncle was also anxious, so he said directly: "Yesterday you said you would help our courtyard build a kang in the gatehouse, and also said you would repair the doors and windows, this how..."

Li Xuewu seemed to have just remembered, nodded and said: "Yes, yes, yes, I said it yesterday, but that was yesterday. I can't do it today."

First Uncle saw Li Xuewu going back on his word, so he frowned and asked: "Why can't you do it?"

Li Xuewu pointed to the Bai Bai Xiyuan and said: "What I said yesterday morning was that my Bai Bai Xiyuan is being renovated, and the workers can take the opportunity to help our courtyard repair the gatehouse, right? Is that what I said?"

First Uncle nodded: "Yes, that's what you said."

Li Xuewu spread his hands: "But now the Bai Bai Xiyuan renovation is finished, and the people have withdrawn. They left at noon today. Sister Qin knows this. I left half a day for our gatehouse, but Third Uncle didn't agree..."

First Uncle was also dumbfounded, not expecting Li Xuewu's Bai Bai Xiyuan renovation to be so fast, they didn't catch up even after rushing.

Qin Huairu stood on the side and said: "Yes, Li Xuewu also told me to leave some good food for the workers and use half a day to help clean up the gatehouse, but Third Uncle... the workers had no work after eating at noon, so they all left."

First Uncle discussed: "Can't you invite the workers back?"

Before Li Xuewu could speak, Qin Huairu spoke first: "These workers are all based on projects, regardless of size, they all need money to start work. Originally, our gatehouse could be included in Li Xuewu's project, without counting money."

Qin Huairu paused here and glanced at the front courtyard: "But now if you invite the workers back, it counts as a new project starting. How can this gatehouse be cleaned up without forty or fifty yuan?"

Li Xuewu looked at Qin Huairu and gave her a thumbs up with his eyes. This sister is not in vain, she really steps up when there's something.

"Need that much?" First Uncle asked with a frown.

Qin Huairu, who really steps up, said with dissatisfaction: "That's right, I learned some prices when I helped in the Bai Bai Xiyuan. To clean it all up, it would be at least forty yuan, just the bricks, wood, and glass, how much would that cost?"

First Uncle frowned and said: "Then we have to clean it up with our own labor."

Li Xuewu took a yuan from his pocket and handed it to Qin Huairu: "I can't provide labor or strength, I really have things to do, but I'll provide money."

Qin Huairu looked at First Uncle and took the money.

First Uncle said to Li Xuewu: "If you're busy, go ahead, I'll organize this side."

Li Xuewu nodded: "Then you've worked hard."

As he spoke, he went to the front courtyard.

Just passed the third gate when he heard someone arguing on the left. Turning his face, it was Yan Jiecheng and his wife arguing with Third Uncle and Third Aunt.

The main force of the argument was Yu Li and Third Aunt, the one persuading was Third Uncle, and the one who didn't dare to persuade was Yan Jiecheng.

It turned out that when Li Xuewu went home to take a bath and change clothes, Yu Li told Yan Jiecheng in the inverted house what her father-in-law did in the morning, and what her mother-in-law said.

Yan Jiecheng was also very helpless caught in the middle.

While talking, Yu Li took Yan Jiecheng to see the situation of their house being blocked.

Third Uncle and Third Aunt had discussed the strategy and were waiting for the couple at home. Seeing Yu Li bring Yan Jiecheng over, they came out of the room.

When they saw the big fat rabbit in Yan Jiecheng's hand, Third Uncle and Third Aunt's eyes turned red.

Getting capable, huh? Really thinking about splitting the family, having good things and not bringing them home, but taking them to their own small home.

Getting angry, the words became ugly.

"Eldest, what did you go do? Do you know that something big happened at home? Our car is lost."

Yan Jiecheng had already heard from Yu Li that their car was lost, but Yan Jiecheng didn't have deep feelings for this car, because he hadn't ridden it many times in total, so he didn't have a big reaction to the car being lost.

"Hmm, I know."

Seeing Yan Jiecheng's lukewarm answer, Third Uncle got angry.

"What kind of attitude is this? Something happened at home and you don't know how to maintain it. You're good, busy with other people's business. What did I raise you for!"

Yan Jiecheng saw his father and mother trying to do the same thing to him as last night, so he said helplessly: "How can it be called other people's business? That's the unit leader using the car, going to the mountain to test the radio. Do you really think I went to play?"

"Heh, you went to test the radio, ah, that radio has a scope? Has bullets? Can hit a rabbit? Can hit a pheasant? Don't fool your father."

"Is this rabbit delicious? You, you, you, you bring it home for me to taste."

Yan Jiecheng looked at his father speechlessly. Clearly, the urgency of losing the car had passed, and he was still acting here.

He was talking about the car, but first he gave him a rake, and then talked about the rabbit.

Yu Li saw that her father-in-law and mother-in-law were so shameless. They talked about splitting the family in the morning, and now they were thinking about the rabbit again.

"I told you to clean up this pile of junk before dinner, are you treating me as a soft persimmon to bully? Do you really think I don't dare to burn it?"

Seeing Yu Li starting a fight, Third Aunt didn't let go either, pointing at Yu Li and shouting: "Is that how you talk to your mother-in-law? Didn't your mother teach you how to be a person?"

Seeing her mother being scolded, Yu Li also went all out, raised her eyebrows and replied: "I don't know how my mother taught me, but my mother didn't teach me to gossip behind people's backs, and didn't teach me to be untrustworthy and covet other people's things."

"Hmm?"

Third Uncle stood on the side and felt something was wrong. How did the war burn to him while arguing? This wasn't an unprovoked disaster?

"I say, Eldest daughter-in-law, isn't it because our family has no place to put these things? There's only this empty place. If we follow what you said, piling them in the veranda wouldn't look good on our family's face, right?"

Yu Li turned her face to Third Uncle and asked: "Ah, it doesn't look good piled under your window, so it looks good piled under my window? Now it's good, can't see anything, the window is blocked tightly, just short of blocking the door."

Third Uncle spoke with facts and reason: "Eldest daughter-in-law, who said they wanted to block your door? Isn't this a joke? There's no such thing as parents-in-law blocking their son and daughter-in-law's door."

Yu Li sneered: "You still know it's a joke, which means you still want face. But what's the difference between this and blocking my door?"

"Eldest, aren't you going to manage your wife?"

Third Aunt saw Yu Li's firepower fully open and couldn't handle it. This guy was ton-ton-ton, pushing her old couple down. Looking at her eldest son standing on the side listlessly, she used the magic weapon to decide the outcome every time they argued.

Before, as long as there was a dispute, Third Uncle or Third Aunt would give Yan Jiecheng a wink, and Yan Jiecheng would persuade his wife to endure it or pull his wife away.

But it didn't work today. Yan Jiecheng was now like a chick in a storm, no matter what Third Aunt said, he wouldn't say a word to Yu Li.

The most pitiful thing was the rabbit in Yan Jiecheng's hand, which was almost squeezed out of oil by now.

The rabbit didn't expect that it would die twice in one day.

Seeing his eldest son lowering his head and not saying a word, Third Aunt asked: "Are you dumb? You just watch your wife being so arrogant to your father and mother."

Yan Jiecheng had already received Yu Li's ultimatum in the inverted house, today he must get this breath back.

Yu Li had long been determined to split the family. If she wanted to live a good life, she had to split the family.

She also told Yan Jiecheng very decisively, if the family wasn't split today, then she would split with Yan Jiecheng.

Yan Jiecheng was terrified now, really afraid that a slight word would lead his wife's anger to himself, so no matter how his mother asked, he wouldn't speak.

This was Yan Jiecheng's old trick, the art of endurance.

"Fine, Eldest, your father and I have raised you for nothing all these years. Your wings are hard, huh? Daring to let your wife challenge your mother. Fine, you're fine."

At this time, Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiekuang and other brothers and sisters came out. Hearing a few words from their mother, they knew it was Eldest Brother and Sister-in-law making their parents angry again.

Yan Jiefang pointed at Yan Jiecheng and shouted loudly: "Yan Jiecheng, do you really think you're someone because you drive a broken car? Daring to challenge Dad and Mom, believe it or not, I'll slap you."

Yan Jiekuang stood at the door and said sarcastically: "Hehe, you dare to move others? Others are officials now, a car official is also an official, be careful of being caught and squatting in jail."

Yan Jie Di ran to her mother's side, supported Third Aunt, and glared at Yu Li.

Yu Li looked at her brother-in-law and sister-in-law and didn't have a good face, so she mocked: "What? Want to go together? What are you preparing to do, hit me?"

"Still talking about my mother, you taught well, huh? Even the sister-in-law dares to glare at her sister-in-law. You really are a crow landing on a coal pile, black yourself and saying others are black."

"You! Who are you saying is black! I hate you!" Yan Jie Di was young after all, where could she argue with Yu Li, she could only use the arguing words from school.

Seeing more and more people in the courtyard, Third Aunt was afraid that it would really affect her daughter's reputation, so she pulled Yan Jie Di and said to Yu Li: "You don't want to split the family, right? We'll split, go find your father, then find First Uncle, we'll split this family today."

Yu Li also mocked: "Fine, whatever you say, I'll just treat this family split as what I said, anyway everyone knows what's going on."

"And don't find my father, everyone in this courtyard is here, find First Uncle, split the family in front of everyone, anyway the face is lost, don't care about this little bit."

"Split what family, I'm not dead yet, you two are unfilial."

Seeing Third Uncle crying and howling here, Yan Jiecheng was also a bit retreating, really afraid that his father would lie here.

"Split, if you don't feel ashamed, we're afraid of losing face? The neighbors in the courtyard are all here, Jiefang, go invite First Uncle over."

Third Aunt was using a delaying tactic, actually thinking that when First Uncle came, he would definitely persuade them to reconcile and not split. At that time, her old couple would make things difficult with the house, heh, this matter would just be like this.

Yan Jiefang couldn't tell the truth from the false. Seeing his mother's order, he ran toward the middle courtyard, and bumped into Li Xuewu on the way.

Thanks to Li Xuewu's quick hands and feet, he dodged it with one move.

"Like a hairy rabbit."

Seeing Li Xuewu talking about himself, Yan Jiefang didn't dare to speak, dodging and going to find First Uncle who was standing in the courtyard frowning and looking here.

Actually, no need to find, how far was it, he had heard it long ago. Li Xuewu had heard it before coming out of the house, and was standing in the courtyard with Qin Huairu talking about this matter.

Now hearing the front courtyard say they were looking for him to split the family, First Uncle also frowned.

But Yan Jiefang had said it, so First Uncle had to go. This was the duty of the First Uncle in the courtyard, protecting the territory and the people.

Li Xuewu came out of the third gate before First Uncle and the others, heard the argument at Yan Jiecheng's door, and stood on the side to watch for two eyes.

He had the heart to wait for Yan Jiecheng for two minutes, but Yu Li and Third Aunt had already talked about the big event of splitting the family, so today he couldn't wait for Yan Jiecheng.

Li Xuewu walked behind the surrounding crowd and frowned: "Come, come, come, give me a position, I'll say two words and leave, not occupying your place."

The crowd turned their heads and saw it was Li Xuewu, so they all greeted him with a smile and gave him space.

Li Xuewu carried the gun box and walked to Yan Jiecheng's side: "Jiecheng, give me the car key."

Third Uncle's family saw Li Xuewu come over and also stopped their noise to see what Li Xuewu was coming in for.

Third Aunt and Third Uncle's couple were most worried that Li Xuewu would pull partiality to help this couple, but didn't expect Li Xuewu to come to get the key.

Yu Li saw Li Xuewu come in and also blushed, not expecting to be seen by Li Xuewu in her fierce side.

The most awkward and difficult one was Yan Jiecheng. If Li Xuewu said "Jiecheng, we should go," then Yan Jiecheng would definitely run away with Li Xuewu.

But now Li Xuewu clearly didn't need him to drive, he was going to drive himself.

"Li Kezhang, let me send you."

Li Xuewu waved his hand: "No need, I'll go myself, I'll be back late."

Sending Li Xuewu was the only rope for Yan Jiecheng to escape this current inferno, how could he easily give up, and he was more afraid that Li Xuewu would look down on him and not use him to drive anymore.

"Let me send you, you still have to drink, afraid it's not safe."

Li Xuewu smiled and took the key that Yan Jiecheng handed over but didn't let go, then patted Yan Jiecheng's shoulder.

"If you don't sweep a house, how can you sweep the world? Handle your family affairs clearly before working."

As he spoke, he was about to leave, Yan Jiecheng's pleading expression still wanted to strive for it.

"Li Kezhang..."

Li Xuewu frowned: "Handle family affairs well, if there are any difficulties, there is still the organization."

When saying this sentence, Li Xuewu glanced at Yu Li, and Yu Li accurately captured the signal sent by Li Xuewu.

This sentence was clearly said to herself, Yu Li's spine straightened instantly.

We are also people with an organization.

Li Xuewu didn't pay attention to the discussion behind him, put the gun box into the trunk, and drove the jeep out of the gate.

When he arrived at Dong Wenxue's house, it was almost five o'clock. The teacher's wife was teaching Xiao Mengyuan arithmetic, and it was Dong Wenxue who came out to open the door.

Seeing Li Xuewu carrying two strips of pork and rabbits and pheasants, Han Laoshi scolded him: "Are you being polite with us? You bring things every time you come. If you do this again, I won't let you in next time."

Li Xuewu handed the pork to Dong Wenxue, then placed the rabbits and pheasants at the door, and then entered the room.

"You can't blame me for this. This is my teacher's house. A student paying tuition is a duty. I didn't bring any money to pay tuition. According to what Confucius taught, pure meat."

"Hahaha, Mengyuan asked when you were coming when he was sleeping last night. I asked him if he missed you, and he said he missed braised pork. Hahaha."

Li Xuewu took off his coat and walked to the sofa, stretched his cold hands into Xiao Shidi's neck, teasing the little junior brother until he giggled.

Seeing that the child couldn't study anymore, Han Laoshi put away the books, waved for Li Xuewu to sit, and she got up to brew tea for Li Xuewu.

Dong Wenxue took Li Xuewu and sat on the sofa, while Dong Mengyuan leaned beside Li Xuewu to play.

In the cold weather, children have no place to play, so they can only squat at home to do homework, especially since the mother is a teacher, so there is even more homework.

"How is it today?" Dong Wenxue asked when he saw Li Xuewu was seated.

Li Xuewu smiled: "Already negotiated with Red Star Commune. Besides supporting some construction materials, we just need to wait to receive it."

Dong Wenxue knew about Li Xuewu's plan and had no restrictions.

Because Dong Wenxue was a cadre, he didn't have a business foundation, so he didn't interfere with his disciple's flexing his muscles.

If he did well, it was the overall situation of the Security Section. If he didn't do well, he would still have himself to cover the bottom. Dong Wenxue was quite at ease with Li Xuewu.

"But the one surnamed He made a mess."

Dong Wenxue took Han Laoshi's tea, squinted his eyes and didn't speak, waiting for Li Xuewu's report.

Li Xuewu placed the teacup on the coffee table, and seeing the teacher's wife pull Dong Mengyuan away, he repeated Fu Bin's performance and conversation today.

After listening, Dong Wenxue pondered for a while, then sneered: "A centipede dies but never stiffens."

"He has experienced war and the test of a special era, how could he admit defeat so easily? This is playing a conspiracy with you."

Li Xuewu said with a sinister face: "Whether it's a conspiracy or an open plot, I'll take it. I really want to see what kind of character this Fu Haibo is."

Dong Wenxue thought for a while and said: "I've seen him, and I've been in contact with him, but not much. Contact on business, but this person left a deep impression on me."

"Oh? Still a tough nut?" Li Xuewu took a sip of tea, raised his eyebrows and asked disdainfully.

Dong Wenxue had a scholarly image and didn't care about his student's banditry. He laughed "hehe" in his mouth: "Tough nut is not really it, he counts as capable, in his thirties, two personalities with his uncle, smiling three parts when seeing people."

"To hear the word 'capable' from your mouth, that's a capable person. It seems my competitor this time is not ordinary."

Li Xuewu didn't have much reaction. To be able to be in a branch factory, he must have ability. Now that he wants to come back to fight for this position, he must have some means.

Dong Wenxue picked up the teacup and said unhurriedly: "It's true that he's not coming with good intentions."

Li Xuewu leaned on the back of the sofa, raised his eyebrows and said: "Hehe, good intentions or not, he's already here, what else can happen."

"This doesn't look like your personality. Why, afraid?"

Seeing Dong Wenxue also raising his eyebrows and smiling at himself, Li Xuewu patted the sofa armrest and laughed wickedly: "That's not it, I'm just thinking about where the loess is suitable for burying people."

"Hahaha, you're really a newborn calf not afraid of tigers."

"Don't say he's not a tiger, even if he's a real tiger, he has to lie down when he reaches my territory. If he dares to stand up, I'll beat him to death."

Li Xuewu drank half of the tea in the teacup and expressed his stance with a face full of severity.

Han Laoshi had already put on a small cotton-padded jacket for Dong Mengyuan, put on a cotton hat, and tucked both hands into the hand warmer, like a small meatball.

"Brother, let's go."

When Li Xuewu turned to look at Dong Mengyuan, he had already changed into the image of a warm big brother next door, pulled his little junior brother's hand and said: "Did you finish your homework? If you don't finish, stay at home and do your homework, we'll go eat something delicious."

Dong Mengyuan pulled Li Xuewu's hand and shook it unwillingly: "Brother, I'll do it when I come back."

"Hahahaha." Li Xuewu rubbed his little junior brother's head, walked to the door with Dong Wenxue, and asked while walking: "Then what if you come back late?"

"Then you help me write."

"Hahahaha." Li Xuewu rubbed his little junior brother's head, walked to the door, put on his overcoat and hat, picked up Dong Mengyuan and walked out.

Arriving at the door, he opened the car door and placed Dong Mengyuan in the back seat. Han Laoshi also got into the back seat, and Dong Wenxue sat in the passenger seat.

Just like this, Li Xuewu drove the car with this family of three toward the small courtyard of the Gu family.

They say everything is fate, not a bit up to people.

Some families are loving parents and filial children, while others are mutually suspicious, you calculate me, I calculate you.

First Uncle was led by Yan Jiefang to the front courtyard. The onlookers gave way to First Uncle, wanting to see this good show to the end.

"Old Yi, hurry up and say something. Oh my, I, I don't even have the face to talk to you."

First Uncle frowned and looked at the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law confronting each other, and then looked at Yan Jiecheng standing beside Yu Li and the other Yan family members standing beside Third Aunt.

"What's going on, tell me."

At this time, First Uncle came over to ask, Third Aunt and Yan Jiefang and the others didn't speak, only Third Uncle was on the side saying "ouch ouch."

But Yu Li was determined to split the family, so she stood out and said to First Uncle: "First Uncle, you know about the gatehouse being occupied. But look at where my father-in-law and mother-in-law put the things they moved out."

As she spoke, Yu Li pointed to the blocked window: "All placed at our door, how are we supposed to live?"

"If you can't live, move out, didn't think about putting it at your place."

Third Aunt saw Yu Li talking about her old man in front of outsiders, so she glared and said something about driving Yu Li and her couple away, which was also a foreshadowing.

Yu Li wasn't so angry this time, glared at her mother-in-law and said: "You mean to drive us away, fine, split the family, split the family today and we'll live our own lives, don't hinder anyone."

Third Aunt hugged her arms and shouted: "Split, definitely split, Old Yi, you be a witness here today, we've split this family."

First Uncle also understood, and persuaded: "Isn't it just this bit of junk, change a place to pile it, blocking the couple's house is not a thing."

"That's right, this is becoming a cellar." There were really people shouting for Yu Li, it was Liu Guangtian from the backyard.

Third Uncle said with a sad face: "I wanted to find a place to pile it, but there's no place."

First Uncle walked to the pile of junk and looked, water vat, kang mat, stove, all junk, nothing decent.

"Third Uncle, you don't have anything useful here, why not sell it as junk." 【261】 "These are all usable, buying new ones would be another sum of money." 【262】 Third Uncle and Third Aunt didn't want to sell this pile of things as junk. Now they emphasize "new for three years, old for three years, mend and mend for another three years." 【263】 But First Uncle picked up the frying pan with a hole in the bottom and compared it to Third Uncle: "Can this still be used?" 【264】 Third Uncle smiled awkwardly: "Maybe it was in the warehouse for too long, rusted and leaked." 【265】 First Uncle threw the frying pan in his hand back onto the pile of junk. 【266】 "Alright, all are biological sons and biological fathers, where is such a big fire? If you ask me, Third Uncle, you should scatter these things in your veranda, so as to give the couple convenience to enter and exit. If they really can't be used, sell what should be sold, throw away what should be thrown." 【267】 Third Uncle and Third Aunt saw First Uncle speak, so they looked at Yan Jiecheng and his wife, wanting to see what the two young ones said. 【268】 If the two young ones admitted a mistake, Third Uncle's old couple wouldn't mention splitting the family, after all, the eldest was still working. 【269】 Yu Li gripped the ten yuan in her pocket, she was determined to split the family, otherwise all her wages would have to be handed over to the family. The second and third ones were coming up, she would have to work for the family for more than ten years for nothing. 【270】 "First Uncle, please help us split the family, we don't want to suffer this anger anymore." 【271】 "What kind of words are these." First Uncle scolded Yu Li, and then turned to look at Yan Jiecheng who was lowering his head and not speaking. 【272】 "Jiecheng, you say, do you want to split the family?" 【273】 Yan Jiecheng was startled by First Uncle's question, looked up at his parents, all were hanging their eyes to look at him, brothers and sisters were also glaring at him, thinking of all the grievances he had at home, only feeling suffocated in his heart. 【274】 It's the middle of the month~ 【275】 Greats, reward the author with monthly tickets~ 【276】 Let's take this week as the limit, 【277】 As long as the monthly tickets reach 4,000, 【278】 I'll explode update 30,000 words! 【279】 As long as the monthly tickets reach 6,000, 【280】 I'll explode update 50,000 words! 【281】 The results will be out on Sunday, and I'll explode update on Monday! 【282】 I will never break my word! ===== CHAPTER 246 =====

"These are all still usable. If you have to buy new ones, that's another chunk of money."

The Third Master and his wife were unwilling to sell this pile of things as scrap; nowadays, the emphasis is on "new for three years, old for three years, mend and patch for another three years."

But the First Master picked up a frying pan with a hole in the bottom and gestured with it toward the Third Master, saying, "Can you still use this?"

The Third Master chuckled and said, "It must have been in the storeroom too long and rusted through."

The First Master threw the frying pan in his hand back onto the pile of junk.

"Alright, you're all father and son, why such a big temper? If you ask me, Third Master, you should spread this pile of stuff out in your veranda so it's easier for the young couple to get in and out. Whatever really can't be used, sell what should be sold and throw away what should be thrown away."

Seeing that the First Master had spoken, the Third Master and his wife turned their gazes toward Yan Jiecheng and his wife, wanting to see what the two young ones had to say.

If the two young ones admitted their mistake, the old couple wouldn't bring up the matter of splitting the family anymore; after all, the eldest son was still working.

Yu Li clutched the ten yuan in her pocket; she was determined to split the family. Otherwise, all their wages would have to be handed over to the household, and with the second and third sons growing up soon, she would end up working for free for the family for over a decade.

"First Master, please help us split the family. We don't want to take this abuse anymore."

"What kind of talk is that?" The First Master scolded Yu Li, then turned his head to look at Yan Jiecheng, who was keeping his head down and not speaking.

"Jiecheng, you say it. Do you want to split the family?"

Yan Jiecheng was jolted by the First Master's question. He looked up at his parents, who were both glaring at him, and his siblings, who were also looking at him with hostile eyes. Thinking of all the grievances he had suffered at home, he only felt stifled in his heart.
